Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley II: who will win?

"Very inaccurate" is overstating it. He isn't James Toney but I wouldn't use that phrase. I'd describe him as a "busy" fighter if anything and he likes to hide hard shots in between those occasionally-wild flurries. I also wouldn't say that he has no power. He hits hard enough.
I think you're focusing a little too hard on his negatives and overlooking the good. Bradley is a well-conditioned, experienced champion just hitting his prime. He has excellent footwork, fast hands and most important, shows the ability to adjust. That was a very intelligent fight he fought against Marquez, outboxing him is no easy task. The plan will be to do the same to Manny and he is capable. And his inside game is also underrated.
This is an excellent matchup at the right time. It's hard to say what it'll mean legacy-wise until everything unfolds but it appears to have major implications. If Manny pulls out one last great performance that would be a huge boon and fitting finale to a storied career. It wouldn't shock me to see him rise from the ashes but I think the smart money is on the younger, hungrier fighter winning far more decisively this time.Comment

I believe Pacquiao will not want to leave it in the hands of the judges again! I say he goes out and destroys Bradley with non stop pressure. he will land big punches and they will stop Bradley over rounds. OR, They will jump on him from the start and not allow Bradley to get a grove and force him to fight.Comment

I don't see Bradley winning this at all. Though he may frustrate and snag a round or two. It depends on Manny's aggressiveness, if hes able to draw Tim into a slug fest its a tko mid rounds (6-8).
But if the "Manny with mercy" shows up then UD. Even a slower Manny has more than enough speed and movement for Tim.Comment
